What Is Dog Trancing?
Happy Tuesday everyone! We are day 6 into The 24 Days Before Christmas and we are talking about What Is Dog Trancing? I have never heard of this before and was curious as to what it meant.

How To Make A Bow Tutorial And Video
Happy Wednesday everyone! As promised, here is my How To Make A Bow Tutorial And Video! This is only my second tutorial and I'm in much need of some practice but I tried my best not to confuse you.

Add some zing with a side of crackers and pepperoni for dipping. How to make whipped feta dip: ...
